hiya casey you have got it in a nut shell and some times i tie a small piece of bailing twine on to the breast bar and the hay net when thay use to travle togeather.
also i love your caption about your horse i think thats great.
and its a pleasure meeting you.

Not so loose and low that they can pull it off or get caught up in it. Its not gonna hurt a horse to eat from a bag level with his nose. I tie haybags maybe level with the bottom window sill and to the side so their view isn't obstructed. And I don't want their heads down low in a trailer.

Sorry, I meant tie the horse looser. And the small mesh hay nets have super small holes that slow down the horse eating AND the horse cant get a hoof stuck in them. Keep in mind that shod horses can get their shoe stuck in the net.
